The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 A Night of Tumult

Elliot’s eyes bulged with fury, and he stomped toward the villa’s grand entrance, pounding on the door with all his might.

“Open up, open the door now! Felix, you scumbag, don’t you dare kiss my sister. Get your filthy hands off her! Lauren, you’re playing dead for me? Felix is no good: you won’t be happy with him.

The villa’s living room door slowly opened, and Anna and Marilyn emerged. Hope sparked in Elliot’s eyes when he saw Marilyn.

“Marilyn, let me in quickly. That scumbag Felix is getting handsy with Laurie, even dared to kiss her. I’ll kill him!”

Anna and Marilyn exchanged a glance, a barely concealable delight spreading across their faces. Without a word, they turned.

and shut the door.

They hurried to Kate, eager to relay the news

Kate’s face lit up with joy. “Good, very good.”

She had thought Felix was clueless about romance, but here he was, actively pursuing a girl.

“Their relationship is progressing so fast; it caught me off guard. They’ve already kissed? That’s wonderful.”

Seeing the door shut, Elliot, unable to vent his frustration, continued to hurl insults at Lauren and Felix upstairs, forgetting why he had come to see Lauren in the first place.

Jeffrey quietly observed Lauren’s slender back, a strange feeling brewing inside him

Elliot’s insults were vile and loud, yet Lauren seemed completely unresponsive, as if she couldn’t hear a thing.

And Felix with that provocative demeanor, was truly irritating

Felix’s gaze remained unblinkingly on the pair outside.

His lips slowly moved up Lauren’s neck, his breath warm as it brushed against her skin, making her cheeks burn as if they might bleed.

Lauren struggled slightly but Felix held her even tighter.

“Mr. Brooker… Lauren called out softly, her voice trembling.

To Felix, her voice was like a soft hand gently scratching at his heartstrings, making his eyes darken even more.

He slightly loosened his hold on Lauren but kept his arms gently around her shoulders, looking down into her eyes with a soft and low voice. “You should go to sleep.

Lauren nodded and was about to pull the curtains closed when Felix suddenly scooped her up. She stiffened in surprise but soon relaxed, allowing Felix to gently place her on the bed.

Through it all. Elliot’s hysterical ranting continued unabated, but Felix ignored it completely.

He handed Lauren the warm milk, and under his gaze, she drank it all.

Felix gave her a sou smile, then walked back to the window.

He stared coldly at Elliot outside.

Seeing Felix, Elliot’s shouting abruptly stopped.

Their eyes met across the distance. Felix’s gaze icy and challenging.

Elliot’s face turned a shade of deep blue as he clenched his teeth and said, “Felix, Laurie’s not well. You’re not allowed to touch her”

His voice trembled slightly, as if he truly worried about Lauren’s health

Finished

Felix scoffed dismissively, his eyes flashing with contempt. He abruptly pulled the curtains shut, cutting off Elliot’s view completely

Elliot’s pupils dilated in rage, staring at the tightly closed curtains, nearly apoplectic.

Felix turned slowly, his gaze tenderly falling on Lauren. The bedside lamp cast an amber glow on his well–defined jawline, his Adam’s apple moving slightly as he whispered. “Sleep now.

Lauren, nestled in the goose–down comforter, trembled slightly, a translucent blush spreading across her cheeks under the warm light.
